Local coffee shop the target of the feds

Mary Lou's coffee has some attractive women working there. There has never been a complaint from any employee or from anyone who wasn't hired... yet the feds cry foul...

Can a business be forced to hire older, less attractive people, even if none are applying?

    I'm an older, unattractive woman. I could go apply there and see what happens. :P

    I will let Mary Lou's know that Marley's will hire anyone deemed too attractive to serve coffee.

    Hell no. Its a dynamite business model if you ask me. The Feds need to stay away from MaryLous and focus their energy on keeping drugs out of schools and such. These MaryLous people are capitalist, just trying to make a dollar and a cent in this life, just like you and me.

    Wow.

    Just wow.

    Mr. Unlost told me about that this morning. He introduced the topic by saying, "There's the coffee shop... hires really outgoing, friendly waitresses..." Proceeds to tell me that he's gone there and the waitresses are just so nice.

    Uh huh.

    *marches upstairs to confront him with the photos*

    **okay, doesn't really march upstairs to confront him with the photos**

    Force him to go to Honey Dew, where the situation is exactly the OPPOSITE?

    Pffft.

    His expression was so sincere... "They're really outgoing and nice."

    I thought he was talking about the waitresses personalities.

    Now I think he was talking about their breasts.
